Description:
This is a volume of nine papers on Tibetan and Buddhist art from the proceedings of the ninth seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies held in Leiden in the year 2000. The papers deal with art and architecture both within and on the periphery of Tibetan cultural areas. Several of the papers examine outside influences on Tibetan artistic traditions and the role of Tibetan patronage in the creation of Buddhist art. (Ben Deitle 2006-03-15)
